2v^2 − 7v + 4 = 0 Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.

mmmm do you want to use the graphing method or use the quadratic equation?
quadratic equation
\[\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ax^2+bx+c \\2x^2-7x+4\] \[ a=2 \\b=-7\\c=4\] Can you plug a, b, and c into the quadratic formula?
a= 2 b= -7 c= 4
yea... and plug that into \[\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]
I'm confused
\[\frac{ -(-7) \pm \sqrt{-7)^2-4(2)(4)} }{ 2(2) }\]
14.43087m / p
@snowflake0531
uh wat can you just simplify that expression?
I put the equation in a calculator and that's what it gave me
Don't use a calculator.... use your brain o-o just simplify the numbers, multiply
7^2 = 49
\[\frac{ -(-7) \pm \sqrt{(-7)^2-4(2)(4)} }{ 2(2) } \\ \frac{ 7 \pm \sqrt{49-32} }{ 4 }\\\frac{ 7 \pm \sqrt{17} }{ 4 }\]
So then you have \[\frac{7+\sqrt17}{4}\\\frac{7-\sqrt17}{4}\]
8.03
sure find the decimal form of both
0.0803
i have no clue where you got your answers
So then you can round to 0.72 and 2.78
